Stand Up Easter Cross Card

April 13, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

I love this time of year! Easter is a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration, making it the perfect occasion to create a heartfelt handmade card. Today’s card is ideal for sending Easter blessings to loved ones.

I pulled out several stamp sets (some retired) for sentiments on the back. Here’s a look at a few:

Do you have a preference? Purple or Crumb Cake?
Which banner do you like better?

The Happy Easter sentiment is from the March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Bunny Buddies Kit. The other banner sentiment is from the Hold on to Hope Stamp Set and Cross of Hope Dies (retired). There are several current stamp sets and dies that would work on this card (Faith Collection, Mixed labels, Storybook Friends). I will put the link for the current products below.

I’ve seen several versions of this cross on Pinterest; however, they did not stand alone. Here are the details for my version:

Materials & Measurements

Card Base (Gorgeous Grape or Crumb Cake): 3 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cross: 1 1/4 x 3 1/4, 5 x 5 1/2 score on 5″ side @ 1, 1 7/8, 3 1/8, 4
DSP (Perennial Lavender): 2 @ 7/8 x 5 3/8, 1 1/8 x 5 3/8, 1 1/8 x 3 1/8 (cross)
*Cross piece needs to be cut going horizontal, other strips are vertical cuts.
Basic White: 3 x 5 1/4 for stamped panel on the back of the card, scrap to stamp sentiment and die cut with banner die.
Embellishments: ~ 8 inches 3/8″ ribbon, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems

Directions

Fold and burnish cross piece along the score lines. Adhere DSP strips to the middle and both ends.
Adhere DSP to the cross piece and adhere to card ~1 1/2 inches from the top.
Apply liquid glue to the ends on the backside and adhere to each side on the card base.
Drape ribbon around cross and adhere with Mini Glue Dots. Trim ends.
Stamp sentiment on white and die cut with banner die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add purple gems (optional).
Stamp images and/or sentiment on white layer and adhere on back.
Card folds flat to the side to fit in standard envelope.

This Easter Cross Card isn’t just for Easter! It would be a thoughtful sympathy card, an encouragement card to remind someone of faith and hope, or for celebrating spiritual milestones like baptism or confirmation. I made one for myself to display with my Easter decor.

Have a Blessed Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely Lavender Hostess Gifts

January 27, 2024January 27, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been in New York this week visiting my daughter. I used the January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit to make a hostess gift set for her.

The tag from the kit was perfect to go with the lavender plant I picked up at Target. I also used the die cuts from the kit on the easel calendar card. Here’s a look at the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit.

You can Click HERE to watch Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble the kit as intended. This kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the Spring Mini Catalog. I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the Purple Shimmer Gems from the suite on the calendar card I made. The leaves and lavender die cuts are from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here are the details to create the calendar easel card.

Measurements:

Card base (Highland Heather): 4 1/4 x 11, scored @ 2 3/4 & 5 1/2
Cardstock Layer (Gorgeous Grape): Cut 2 @ 5 1/4 x 4
DSP (Perennial Lavender): Cut 2 @ 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
Cardstock Layer (Highland Heather): 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 (for calendar), 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (for Sticky Note)
Basic White: scrap to stamp sentiment (from So Sincere) and die cut with Thoughtful Expressions Die

Directions:

Fold & burnish card base.
Adhere DSP to Gorgeous Grape cardstock. Adhere one layer inside card base.
Adhere calendar to cardstock layer. Place die cuts from Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit on cardstock layer and adhere with a few Mini Glue Dots. Adhere calendar to DSP layer covering the bottom of the die cuts. Stamp sentiment and cut with Thoughtful Expressions Die. Adhere beside die cuts with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere this layer to front of card only applying adhesive on the bottom section on the card so it adheres below the score line.
Adhere sticky note pad to cardstock layer and adhere to card base. It is the stopper for the easel.
Embellish with Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
